...started carefully examining the words to some of the songs, to find out whether specific references could be analysed to provide a time and place of contact. There would have to be some way to positively identify the contact; and some sort of password system, so the contact would know that we were worthy of further information. By reducing the phrase "Meter Maid" to "Meet a maid" the Bryn Mawr girls had provided a profound insight. Given that you could get to the right place at the right time, the contact could be identified as a "maid," that...
...surely non-sense of the most literal kind to argue that a court of law should subordinate the 'rule of law' in favor of more 'fundamental principles' of revolutionary action designed forcibly to oust governments, courts and all. This self-contradictory sort of theory-all decked out in the forms of law with thick papers, strings of precedent, and the rest-is ultimately at the heart of the plaintiffs' case."

One reason is that, despite big draft calls and a booming economy, such perennial employers of student power as construction and retail trades are soft.

...science they have been doing wouldn't intrigue most Harvard science wonks, since it's primarily the sort of observational work that engaged nineteenth century researchers: ice, wildlife, weather, and ocean depth surveys, plus simple physical and psychological tests on the effects of their bleak environment. However, these elementary investigations are crucial to cold regions researchers whose limited data on this huge area so far has come chiefly from a few itinerant ice island stations maintained by the U.S. and U.S.S.R., and from an international ice observation study called Project Bird...
